Publishers monetizing original editorial
content through affiliate recommendations
should separately verify each provider's
acceptable-use policies.
Kit's published guidance
Kit allows some affiliate marketing
within an established creator business,
but does not permit every form of
commission-focused promotional emailing.
Its current help guidance gives an
example in which approximately 70–80%
of emails relate to the publisher's
own information, products or services,
with roughly 20–30% affiliate-related.
This is vendor guidance, not a
universal legal rule or guaranteed
approval for every newsletter.
AWeber's published policies
AWeber restricts unsolicited commercial
messaging, purchased leads and other
noncompliant email practices.
Its general customer documentation
should not be taken as blanket approval
of a specific multi-vendor affiliate
newsletter business model.
The important distinction
An affiliate program that pays publishers
to refer customers is not the same
contract as a customer account used
to send newsletters.
Approval for a vendor's referral
program does not automatically
authorize every kind of promotional
email sent using that vendor's service.
Before committing to AWeber, examine our
nine documented AWeber limitations, including billing,
workflow, migration, and publisher-policy considerations.
